Chinese Rice Porridge Recipe | Congee
This simple Chinese Rice Porridge Recipe is commonplace in Chinese homes. It can be served with any stir fry or roasted/ steamed fish or chicken. Known as ‘Congee’, it is a traditional recipe for baby food due to its smooth texture. It is also great when you are recovering from illness. Light and simple, classic comfort! The congee was once considered poor man’s food, enabling a family to stretch the meal with the consumption of lesser rice grains. Today, however, is regularly found even at high-end restaurants! In my home, we love it with Kung Pao Chicken or Thai Basil Chicken.

Ingredients:
Salt may be omitted if you want unsalted porridge, it can also be substituted by using salted vegetable or chicken stock instead of the water. You may grind the rice to brake it up, but I usually don’t bother. It still cooks down easily.
